Cool Mercedeslove1

Hello from the Carolinas. I left for work and my s500 was working and cranking fine. I come back and noticed there was water in the back near the fuse box. I checked the fuel pump it seems to be working fine, I was thinking maybe its the crankshaft positioning sensor but I'm not sure. I just cant seem to get it cranked and suggestions?

Water in the plastic reservoir under the passenger side windshield ?

If so You have water damage . Pull up the passenger carpet and dry out with hair dryers . Dry out the fuse box . Clear the drain at the bottom of that plastic reservoir with a long screwdriver or chopstick as shown . Do not start car you'll fry the electronics. If you have comprehensive auto insurance they should cover water damage

Or if you meant water in the trunk, you have water damage there . Again pull up all carpeting and dry out immediately

Take pictures of the damage and call your insurance company even before you try and dry things out.
